I love chairs, they are such a patient and beautiful subject.

Landscapes

I love to paint landscapes, but I don't necessarily love all landscape paintings. Recently I've been trying to figure out why that is.

I don't have a clear answer yet, but I'll get back to you.

And then there was snow...

I'm really enjoying working in this new style. I started a big one today...30inches by 48inches. Hopefully I can make it work!

Dirt

Before our little snow storm the Palouse seemed so gray and dirty, but I still saw some beauty in it. I approached these paintings with the intent to explore different surfaces to paint on (I used wood, linen and canvas) as well as capture the subtle beauty of a snowless winter in the Palouse.
